The Top Ten of 2012 Part 1

When I started thinking about what to write for this end of year post, there were so many things that popped into my head that it was hard for me to boil it down into a top ten list. After the debacle of a year that was 2010, 2011 was all about regaining stability and control. With that platform firmly at my feet, 2012 allowed me to flame into life with big moves, assurance, passion and extreme ambitions in true Year of the Dragon style! In short, it was a brilliant year.

2012 - the Year of the Dragon in the Chinese zodiac.

The dragon is the most revered animal in the Chinese zodiac, symbolising power, strength, bravery, passion and confidence. No other zodiac sign could be compared to the status of the dragon. Many Chinese consider the Year of the Dragon to be the most auspicious year, and it's no surprise that this year has brought along a baby boom in China and many Chinese communities.

Now I'm not a horoscope follower, but how did the Year of the Dragon deliver fortune, success and a load of other great memories for me? Here's a countdown of my top ten of the year 2012.
